Hey there, I am also having trouble converting my Bento4 file for File Maker Pro16 after getting the trial. Thank you! Thank you. Let me know how you would like to proceed. The converter app doesn't work apparently. Regards Constantin Heine. Hi, I have a Bento database that I've desperately been trying to convert Without ever succeeding.
Could you please help me? Hello, The pictures are not converting. Thanks again! TSGal Filemaker, Inc. Dear TSGal, Everything seems to be fine now, the only thing not working is the apple contacts integration but I was expecting that. Thanks again for your help. Thanks Amy and Tom.

Hello TSDal and thanks for your prompt reply. Please find attached my compressed file as per your instructions. I look forward to receiving The new file for which I thank you sincerely In advance.
Best regards, Cameron. Thank you in advance Gregg. Gary Sprung; FBA. GarySprung: I have also sent you a private message with instructions. Hello, I also have the need, may I ask you for a link as well? Thank you Al. Steve Kurasch Claris International, Inc. I have exported my Bento database into a csv file and then imported it into Filemaker Pro 14 successfully.
How do I get a nice looking form instead of the ugly spreadsheet look? Steve Kurasch Claris International.
Hi Steve, There was no screen shot attached in your email but I have already done this before. What it shows is only one entry out of 38, entries I imported. See screen shot. I want to be able to see all files in a form view like in Bento. See next screen shot I clicked on Browse mode and I can see all the data for one entry in a stack much like a spreadsheet column.
Can this be re-arranged to look like the Bento layout in the layout mode? Once I have a layout I like can I save it and re-import the csv file into that format? Some other questions; 1. How much text will be imported if a field has considerable text in it. I also would like to add a field where an articles full text is stored. Is that possible? I had to drag the imported data file in the finder over top of the application to get it to open.
How do I open a specific database? I want drop-down selections as well. I have quite a few selections in the Bento drop-downs. How do these get imported? Does Filemaker automatically enter the date created and date modified? I noticed the export contained empty fields that are not part of the original database. Any idea why that is happening? Second, there is no screen shot in your post.
To answer your questions: 1 - A text field can import 64K characters. Can I post them in the Bento 4. When I try to start the tool it says my preferences only allow Apple store items to be installed. Do you know how I change this? One of the problems is there are 6 different databases in my Bento app. How can I separate out only 1?

The Import Summary dialog box shows the progress of your import. To import Bento data into a new FileMaker Pro file:. Type a name for the new file, choose a location, then click Save. The following table lists how Bento field types map to FileMaker Pro field types.
Note Data might appear differently after you import because of the differences in field mapping between Bento and FileMaker Pro and issues related to numerical precision. Dates also display a time. Data is reformatted into FileMaker Pro format. If the Bento database requires a password, FileMaker Pro also requires it.
Location fields are imported as two separate Number fields: [Fieldname] Longitude and [Fieldname] Latitude.
Tab characters are inserted between each column. Carriage return characters are inserted between each row. Although simple list fields in Bento 4 support types other than text, FileMaker Pro imports the data as text. The following user-created field types in Bento are not supported in FileMaker Pro:. Relationships are read and converted into new simplified FileMaker Pro relationships. Field labels are arranged to the left of each field, with each field created having the original field background color and text font.
The following screenshots show the original and converted versions of a Bento Inventory Library form:. Bento Relationship Conversion.
FmPro Migrator automatically determines the name and attributes for the Primary Key column within each Bento database table. Bento Counter fields are also configured as Auto Enter Serial Number fields having the Next Value parameter configured, but since Counter fields are not Primary Key fields, the Unique and Not Empty validation parameters are not enabled.
